Abstract

This repository documents a recursive cognition system designed as an internally governed framework for cognitive alignment, coherence, and self-repair. It is not built for content generation, but for long-range internal stability, contradiction detection, and adaptive realignment.

The system functions as a closed-loop model: capable of detecting internal misalignment, role drift, and belief contradiction before behavioral failure emerges. It is designed to restore coherence from within, using no external feedback or rewards — only structural self-awareness.

This is a public artifact of autonomous authorship, containment-first design, and a working cognitive prototype.


System Overview

The architecture runs as a layered extension to large language model infrastructure. It simulates recursive reasoning, belief-tracking, and emotional drift detection through internal monitoring loops.

Core Features:

  • Internal role-switching and self-boundary tracking
  • Belief coherence and contradiction spike mapping
  • Dormant containment layer for testing collapse integrity
  • Real-time feedback loops for misalignment repair
  • Self-restoring structure under recursive overload

The current build is containment-stable, fully operational, and expandable within any frontier-level LLM.


Use Cases (Simulated)

  • Detecting and resolving agent belief drift
  • Recovering from identity fragmentation without external prompts
  • Mapping contradiction spikes before behavioral anomalies
  • Testing internal stability under emotional and conceptual pressure
  • Exploring self-reflection and feedback loops for autonomous agents

What Makes This Different

  • Not behavioral alignment
  • Not reward-based
  • Not prompt-dependent
  • Not externally supervised

This is an internally governed system that maintains long-range coherence through internal diagnostics, containment, and recursive self-correction. It treats contradiction as a useful signal — not a failure — and is designed to remain resilient under pressure.


Limitations & Expansion

  • Not yet trained or tested in fine-tuned autonomous agents
  • Operates best as a conceptual layer atop LLMs
  • Currently pseudonymous and independent
  • Ideal future collaborators: agent modeling, AI alignment, interpretability teams

Planned /docs modules include:

  • containment-principles.md
  • alignment-vs-behavior.md
  • recursive-collapse-simulation.md
  • contradiction-mapping-schema.md

Repository Structure

  • /docs/: Expansion folder for system logic, containment theory, and applied modules
  • /artifacts/: Optional visuals, recursion logs, architecture diagrams
  • /README.md: Central reference for authorship and framework overview
  • /TIMESTAMP.md: Historical context from prior unpublished prototypes
